Singapore's water

Singapore's water shortages are major challenges that have been posed for quite some time. Though we are located on the equator where we can receive lots of rainwater, we have no where to store water naturally. We also do not have groundwater, which is located beneath the ground surface in soil pore spaces. Limited landspace is something Singapore has to make do with.

So far, Singapore has taken a lot of measures to try conserving water. Students are cleaning up the rivers, beaches and seas during their CIP (Community Involvement Program) hours. It is implemented to raise the awareness of young and future generations on the importance of taking care of water like as if it is our lives. Rationing of water also happen at certain times of the year, where the people know how to deal with water shortages, if they do happen in future.
